1:02	Based on what I've heard and read this morning, the Yankees have apparently decided to forfeit the next three games.

1:02	[Comment From Tommy] What are the chances the Phils throw Lee on 3 days rest?

1:02	They absolutely should. I know he's never done it before, but Lee at 75% >>> Blanton or Happ on full rest.

1:03	[Comment From Guest] Does swisher or Gardner play?

1:03	If anything, it should be Hinske. I'd stick with Swish. He showed signs of life in Game Six of the ALCS, and I'm not going to hold it against him that he couldn't do anything off Lee last night.

1:04	[Comment From derek] is tonight a must win?

1:04	I don't think it's a MUST win, but a really would like to have it win. I only consider games that could potentially end your season must wins. Call me crazy.

1:04	[Comment From Accent Shallow] How worried should we be about Hughes? His command has looked off his past few appearances

1:05

I think he's just pitching away from contact now. This isn't something unique to him, it happens to lots of pitchers in the playoffs, especially young guys. When he has gotten hit, he hasn't been tattooed, mostly just soft liners or grounders through the hole. He just needs to be aggressive in the zone, like he was during the season.

1:06	[Comment From FanInSanFran] Apart from Mo, is our bullpen, which was once a strength, now a weakness?

1:06	They still have what, a 3.50 ERA? Bruney should be a non-factor, so I'm not going to count his implosion against the group. He just sucks.

1:07	[Comment From Bryan V] Was Cano out of position for the RBI single that got between him and Tex? Or should Tex have gone after that one?

1:08

I was talking to Joe and Ben about this just before the chat. I don't think so. Posada set up outside, so they should have been playing him to go back up the middle or to the opposite field. Robertson executed he pitch, it wasn't a hanger, and it went right to the glove, Ibanez just went down and got it. It wasn't hard it. Just one of those things.

1:09	[Comment From Accent Shallow] Gives us the scoop on Chase Utley: does he make outs? (No, seriously)

1:09	Apparently not. The AB when he hit the first homer was fantastic.

1:10	[Comment From Matt Sec.105] Over/under pedro pitch 6 2/3 innings tonight...

1:10	I'll take the under.

1:10	[Comment From vin] How do you grade CC's performance last night? I'd give him a solid A-.

1:10	A B at best. He was behind a lot of guys, but give him credit, he really battled against a great lineup. 9 times out of 10, he gets a W with a game like that.

1:11	[Comment From derek] should the yankees brush back utley tonight to make him a bit less comfortable
